Owen Hill, Summer Brenner, Barry Eisler, and Michael Harris. Co-Presented by PM Press
"Crime fiction is almost like a product of capitalism. It's about social inequality" --Ian Rankin, best-selling crime novelist
Join some of the finest exponents of crime and noir as they discuss how fiction is not just a mirror to the seamier sides of life, but the proverbial hammer with which to shape it.
Owen Hill is the author of two novels and many books of poetry. Of his latest, The Incredible Double, David Ulin of the Los Angeles Times said, "...here we have the essence of noir, a life lived at the edges". He lives in Berkeley, where he works as a bookseller and curates a reading series.
Summer Brenner's novel of sex-trafficking, I-5 made numerous book of the year lists for 2009, and is an underground best-seller.
Michael Harris is debuting his novel as part of the noir Switchblade imprint. Prepare to be impressed, entertained, and awed.
Barry Eislerâs bestselling thrillers draw on his experience in a
covert position in the CIA and on his time as a technology lawyer and startup executive in Silicon Valley and Japan. His latest, Inside Out (Ballantine, June 29) is about black sites, ghost detainees, and those missing CIA interrogation videos. Eisler lives in the San Francisco Bay Area and, when he's not writing novels, blogs about torture, civil liberties, and the rule of law. www.barryeisler.com
